The B.C. RCMP’s officer in charge of the federal serious and organized crime unit said this operation, and others like this, are crucial in combatting the ongoing drug crisis in the province.
It’s only a crisis because drugs are illegal, free of regulations and inspection. If the government abandoned their “wAr oN dRuGs” and instead spent all that money regulating “narcotic” production then there wouldn’t be a crisis.
Looks like I need to get abettwr smuggler. Thankfully that was only the sacrificial shipment
The issue with these illegal drugs in Canada is that there’s synthetic opioids in almost all the drugs. With cocaine it’s potentially deadly since it inhibits naloxone. I’m definitely pro decriminalization. People are going to do these drugs, let’s make them safer.
Everyone knows that if you’re trying to save money for the country and save lives that legalizing drugs is the way to go. The problem is that there’s still a significant portion of people who think that if you do drugs you deserve to die or go to prison. Those people hold us back so much.
